China produced 950,400 mt of silico-manganese alloy in March, up 2.19% MoM but down 5.44% YoY, according to SMM statistics. From January to March 2023, the silico-manganese alloy output in China was 2.81 million mt, a drop of 0.17% year-on-year. The main reason for the increase is that large factories in the north and south resumed or increased production slightly. This offset the output cuts and suspension at plants in Guangxi in the second half of March.

Tungsten Market in the Doldrums Consolidating at Lows, Tungsten Scrap Stabilized, Industry Policies Providing Support [SMM Tungsten Daily Review]

[SMM Tungsten Daily Review: Tungsten Market in the Doldrums Consolidating at Lows, Scrap Tungsten Stabilized, Industry Policies Providing a Floor] SMM May 12: Recently, the tungsten market retreated from highs and continued to be in the doldrums. The price spread between upstream raw material long-term contracts and spot cargo spot orders continued to widen. Long-term contract quotes were repeatedly lowered, but the decline remained smaller than spot market spot order transaction prices. Wait-and-see sentiment was strong in the market, with very few transactions. On May 11, an enterprise in Guangdong canceled its fixed long-term contract pricing for the first half of May and switched to market-based negotiated pricing, shifting pricing power closer to the spot market. This intensified wait-and-see sentiment in the short term while also making raw material pricing more flexible. After a deep decline in the earlier period, scrap tungsten stopped falling and stabilized, rebounding slightly. Suppliers held back from selling at low prices, providing some support to the market.
